Well it's lovely to sit here and write about the 'completed' album...a
few newies and some hand picked songs of worship that we re-mixed and
re-worked. The desire was to have intimate worship songs with scripture
in writing so people can love and worship their Creator while declaring
the promises in His Word.
I believe with all my heart that the highest goal in life is to develop
an intimate relationship with Christ and that a part of this is
confessing His Word in our everyday lives. Jeremiah 1:12 says "I am
alert and active, watching over My word to perform it" Saved to worship
and have fellowship with our heavenly Father, we also see He gave us
principles such as "speaking to the mountain".
I will never forget walking into the house one day after a long days
work and suddenly hearing the voice of God in my heart saying "He's won
everything!!!" (Inspiring the song "Jesus Won It All) I was filled with
so much joy I couldn't help but dance around the house jumping and
shouting it out! Haha, I was kind of glad no one was around. Over the
next few days I remember pondering over all the good things He won for
us on the cross...Salvation, encompassing everything...forgiveness,
intimacy, healing, prosperity, long life, protection, wholeness, peace
of mind...Its all won and done.
As we read in the word we have a part to play as well. There are keys
and principles God gave us to walk in His promises like speaking and
believing; lifting up the hands that hang down; shouting unto God in a
voice of triumph, casting our cares on Him. He paid the ultimate price
for us and longs for us to live in His freedom and authority. It
satisfies Him and brings Him glory. I constantly see conditions
throughout the word. "If you draw near to me...I will draw near to
you"....He is a shield to those...who trust in Him; He will keep in
perfect peace...whose mind is stayed on Him; They that wait upon the
Lord...shall renew their strength; Humble your self in the sight of the
Lord...and He will exalt you in due time; The angel of the Lord encamps
around those...who fear Him and there are hundreds more!
He calls us to come to Him as a child yet walk in our full God ordained
authority in the name of Jesus and all with the help of the Holy Spirit.
As we know one of the ways to draw near to Him is by magnifying
Him...He's already indescribably magnificent but as we magnify Him with
our hearts and our words He is drawn to us because that's who He is and
He can reveal more of who He is to us, in us and through us. He is
Eternal Magnificence!!!
That's some of my heart in this album, that both you and I never forget
the simplicity that is in Jesus Christ...that He won it ALL and called
us to be free. For whoever would come...He has won!!! That's the cross.
